"What you receive is the body of him who is the heavenly bread, and the blood of him who is the sacred vine; for when he offered his disciples the consecrated bread and wine, he said: This is my body, this is my blood. We have put our trust in him. I urge you to have faith in him; truth can never deceive."
"quod accipis, corpus est illius panis coelestis, et sanguis
est illius sacrae vitis. Nam cum panem
consecratum et vinum discipulis suis porrigeret, sic ait: Hoc est
corpus meum: hic est sanguis meus. Credamus, quaeso, cui credidimus. Nescit mendacium
veritas."
St. Gaudentius, Bishop of Bresica, Sermo 2 De Exodi lectione secundus, as trans. in the Liturgy of the hours. CSEL 60; PL 20, col. 859A.
